Wednesday, February 18, 2015 Posts Lost: Hey Dave,

So if I understand right,
every post made on Wednesday, February 18,
is now lost and gone for good,
and cannot be recovered.

Is that right ?

- Ed

We're back after a long night.
The long and short of it is that
we lost our database to an un-repairable state
and had to recover from Tuesday night's backup.

Unfortunately, all of the user posts
between Tuesday night and this morning
were lost as a result,
as well as any new boards, new marks added or removed,
and most other data changes.

Sorry about that. Carry on.
And good night, er morning.. er,
whatever it is. zzzzzz

P.S.

Henceforth, "We don't speak of Wednesday."

Dave Dave Dave...Dave what day was it Dave?

[Tamtam]

PM's are gone too

[Anvil]

Dave, appreciate the hard work, I am a freeloading freebie and check my settings and noticed I only have 4 posts left and have not made one today, except this one.

You guys may need to take a look at this issue

EDIT: mine have since been reset

[Sam'd'Mil]

#Wednesday the 18th for iHub~ :-)

In any case, glad we're back up & running...

[Tuff-Stuff]

SO Wednesday is a FREE Day Giveaway?

[dlhoward]

Wow! That must have been a tough night - happy sleeping!

[Nomad505]

Sorry about that...

[Frayed Knot]

Hey Dave, didn't see this until after I sent you a PM asking what happened.

I apologize for that.

MUM'S the word ...

Have any hair left?

[Homebrew]

No incremental backups during the day ?? Need some help with DR planning ??
Give me a call.

[gail]

[Penny Roger$]

I thought the site was fasting for Lent. Glad I'm wrong!

[soundincrest]

Great job Dave

[W3Research]

Well, good thing you had already calibrated the Di-Lithium Crystals and recharged the Flux-Capaciter from the day before! ;)

[DIG4SLVR]

Ouchy.

[multivalue]

Bummer, been there, done that.

Do you replicate/backup during the day?
Any real time mirroring?
Any fault tolerance systems in place?

Good luck.

[Jim01]

Have you never heard of redundancy?

[vlispxpert]

aha, I was wondering where some of my posts were...I was going to expand on a post & it was gone...I thought I was losing my mind...lmao Bummer, stuff happens, thanks for update!

[renoldman]

The real question is what is the cost to have a site wide crash so as to eliminate dissenting posts on a message board?

LOL.

"IR Services include Simulating a site wide crash to eliminate negative posts about your company: Cost $5,000

But 5 Get 1 Free!

2 Free years of premium membership with each purchase."

Not sure if funny or possible legitimate service to be provided.

I would accept a 25% royalty for the first 100 times it's used. So, if you want to do it, I will graciously accept a royalty check.

At this time I do not accept micro penny stocks as a form of payment.

Heads up, crew!

There was an old hermit named Dave
Operated all of I-Hub from his cave
As the day came to a close
White powder flew up his nose
Causing him to hit delete instead of save

Count

[riskon]

Good Fortune to you and the I-hub team on this Chinese new year!



Thanks for all that you guys do!

[jhnvtjll]

I understand if these type of problems happen once a year, but it appears to me that iHub goes down for some reason MANY times a year.

[dexprs]

Thursday is another day. I am glad you are back on. Thanks.

[Reindeer830]

[rocketeer357]

Henceforth, "We don't speak of Wednesday."

You forgot to add, "Henceforth, we don't apologize to our customers either".

[FoxMcCloud]

Good thing for backups!!!!

[FirmInvestments]

Thank you for telling us what happened!

I noticed many posts were missing on our board including one of my own but they didn't show up even in the moderators "manage" section as being deleted. It was like they just disappeared somewhere into space! So as it turns out, it looks like they did really disappear. Now I know that I am not crazy. OK, well I guess that part can be debated. :) Anyway, thanks again for informing us! Not a big deal at all. It is nice to know what happened.
